BECKHAM RECEIVES AWARD FROM COLL. CHECK (US Army Photo)

Cuba Doesn't Impress Brazilian Officials

RIO DE JANEIRO (UPI) —■

Fidel Castro’s scheme to export revolution and build up favorable public opinion by inviting hun- dreds of thousands Latin Ameri can students, congressmen, labor leaders and public officials to Cuba has backfired in an import- ant target area—Brazil.

Athos Vieira de Andrade, a 35-

year-old state assemblyman from Alinas Gerais state has just re-

leased the fifth edition of a best- seller recounting a trip to Cuba as Castro's guest.

The young liberal passes a

damning opinion on Castro’s par- adise — ‘'a land of slavery, of the firing squad, of injustice, hunger and misery.”

His book documents his

charges with photographs and

eye-witness account. De Andrade was invited to visit

Cuba in April 1962. He received his invitation through the radical leftist Frente Parlementar Na- cional.

He arrived in Havana as part of a delegation of 120 Brazilian congressmen, lawyers, newsmen, labor leaders, peasants and stu- dents in time for May Day festi- vities that year.

f avorably Impressed The congressman reports he

was “greatly and favorably im- pressed” by what he saw the first week as the group was conduct- ed on its official tour.

“During that week the impres- sion was growing within me that the system of government im- planted had many positive quali- ties,” he told UPI.

“These were the days when our group had most contact with of- ficial circles. We talked with President Osvaldo Dorticos, with Che Guevara and with Prime Minister Castro. We made visits and had official receptions.”

At the end of the week de Andrade signed a document prais- ing Castro and thanking him for the opportunity to see the new Cuba.

But the congressman stayed on

15 days more and began bo see

Cuiba “as it really is.” His report is in the book “Cuba,

the World’s Fuse.” ‘No one can deny today that

Cuba has been transformed into a communist launching point, a

defender of Soviet imperialism, and a Marxist sentinel,” he says.

Issues Warning The congressman decsribes the

purpose of his book — his first— “a warning to Democrats and Christians, not only in Brazil but in all the Americas and through- out the world, against the un-

scrupulous, unbraked advance of a dictatorial and materialistic

system which seeks to suffocate all forms of liberty.”

De Andrade blames the United States for the Bay of Pigs dis- aster. But he closes his book with a prophecy that the fight against Castro will go on.

“This fight did not end with the failure at the Bay of Pigs,” he

says. “We don’t know when it will end — given the will of the Cubans to overthrow Castro. In

the Sierra Escambray there are

thousands of guerrillas as proof the fight is not over.

“Abroad millions and millions of Cubans continue to prepare themselves for the opportune mo-

ment.”

During his service as a volun- teer gunner, Beckham had many close calls. The experience he re-

members most vividly occurred in February, 1963, when the heli-

Trarng. He received multiple bruises and lacerations when the

‘copter smacked down in a rice

paddy. Beckham spent two days in the hospital.

spare time he has at Fort Meade is much appreciated, recalling

State Righter Reports Threats In Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM (UPI) — Dr. Edward Fields, education director of the National States Rights Party said today he sent his wife and children out of town after re-

ceiving several death threats.

“I've had all kinds of death threats over the telephone—the callers all sounded like Negroes and are saying things like, ‘We’re going to get you. Fields,’ and “Your’re going to die Fields’,” he said.

The militant segregationist said he would remain at home-with a friend—to protect his property.

Discussing Sunday’s bombing, Fields said, “This is the most

periods in Vietnam when the unit worked seven days a week, often from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

“The work in Vietnam,” says the private, “was hard. But, we

all appreciated the fact that we

we were performing an important job, and the men would have worked longer hours, if neces-

sary.”

horrible thing that could have hap- pened at this time. It remains to be seen what effect it will have on

our boycott movement and estab- lishment of private schools.

“I hope they catch the culprit as

soon as possible so things will re-

turn to normal. W'e have cancelled a mass rally scheduled along with all other meetings in connection with the boycotting of integrated schools.”

by Dr. Daniel David Palmer of Iowa in 1895.

Today there are 25,000 chiro- practors throughout America, Dr. Charles said.

cessfully defended Baltimore against the Briitsh in the War of 1812.
